Pomegranate and Reduced Inflammation

Research synthesisLow evidenceModerate effect3 studies · 3 beneficial · 0 neutral · 0 harmful

Across 3 studies, all reported beneficial effects of pomegranate on reducing inflammation, with moderate effect sizes in two studies and a small effect in one. Statistically significant findings were reported in 2 of the 3 studies. The evidence predominantly comes from systematic reviews, but doses, forms, and study populations were not consistently reported.

  • Studied populations: patients with rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (clinical population)

Caveats: Evidence base is small (only 3 studies) — conclusions should be considered preliminary. Available evidence is overwhelmingly positive — clinical literature in this area is subject to publication bias (null-result studies are less likely to be published or indexed). Doses and forms were not reported in the top studies, limiting applicability. Study durations were not consistently reported, so no meaningful temporal pattern can be inferred.
